Me too. Subaru people gotta say something though since the Evolution has been voted for the overall win in every magazine that I have ever read that has done an EVO vs. STi comparison. Nothing wrong with the WRX though. I would take either in a heartbeatJDMxDB8 said:

The Lan-Evo was also voted for the #1 Best Sport Compact Car in the century. The 92-95 Civic was #2 and the 1994-2001 Integra was voted #3. The Integra was named the greatest FF of all time.

IDK articles your reading. Seems the articles ive seen are just the opposite. Actually look at the Top Gear and the Fifth Gear tests. They take the Subaru there. Every mag ive read it was a difference of milli-seconds and both cars were basically copies. Just the Subaru was more drivable on a daily basis where the Mitsu had the edge in handling. All the mags I read said that. For DD STI for weekend track car, Evo.
OH, and Car & Driver picked the STI

So did Motortrend

Really, ANY article or test you read says the same thing. Either. Their both amazing and really the both win. It was said by ALL the articles it was a personal choice. As in personal preference. If they liked the looks of one over the other, or if it was how it drove, interior looks, how they would use it. The cars are sooo damn close you really cant pick one over the other without using you own personal agenda.
You cant say one is better than the other. Just like you cant say Blue is better than Green.

That is a R&T article and they picked the EVO
R&T said:
Motortrend only picked the STi because it was cheaper. They even say that. They tested the MR. The regular EVO performs almost identical for less cash than even the STi.speedin said:
C&D picked the EVO both times over the STi:

I agree though. They are both equally badass cars and it comes down to personal preference
